I don't know if he'll hit at the big league level, but the Lawlar kid's glove will keep him in the lineup ...

I get he was probably trying to give Taillon some confidence and get him out of there before he implodes but at 77 pitches? Head scratching move once again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted September 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 I'm trying to figure out how the Rockies have not been officially eliminated yet. Not only are they 9.5 games behind the 2nd worse team in the NL (St. Louis 😁), but they have to make up a total of 23 games to get into the 3rd Wild Card, AND jump over 8 teams in doing that. Some of those teams don't even have 23 games left. Yes. My brain gets bogged down on trivial stuff at times. Combine that with the opportunity to poke fun at the Cardinals, and this post seems like something worth noting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Reds already down 6-0 in the third. They scored 3 in the first even though Abbott got the first two out. Walk, single, homer. In the third got the first two out then walk, single, walk, double. Both times a two out walk to Goldschmidt came back to kill you. Abbott has hit the rookie wall and hasn't pitched well of late.

IU Scott Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Reds lose 9-4 to the Cardinals The Cardinals scored 7 runs in 3 innings where the Reds pitchers got the first two batters out.

Well being above .500 was nice while it lasted, just not long enough. Carlos Rodon has been absolutely trash this year, got hammered last night and has an era of almost 6!!! All of Yankee nation has egg on their faces, (me too).... Sorry Cubs and Reds fans, I thought the Yanks might help your causes as well as the Yanks, but looks like it's not happening tonight. Down 7-2 top of the 8th with runners on 1st and 3ed, 1 out. YIKES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my pitcher to be furious if he is taken out not the other way around. I don't blame the player but the organizations not training pitchers to pitch longer. One of the Reds top pitching prospects Petty has started like 17 games this year but hasn't pitched more than 4 innings in any start. If you limit the kid early how will they ever be comfortable going more than 100 pitches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Reds young pitchers need to learn to be more pitch effecient.

IU Scott Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 The home plate ump in the Reds game is the worst I have ever seen. A called strike on a 2-0 to Stephenson was a foot over the top of the box. Bell was ejected for telling that was high. Lopez got called out on a pitch 6 inches out of the strike zone and he was ejected but he at least got his money's worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 It was a bummer of a day yesterday, sports wise for me. First the Colts lose to the Jags. Then the Yanks were not hit for 10 innings against the Brewers. However, they did manage to win 4-3 in 13 innings thanks to a walk-off base hit. It was truly a pitchers duel between Garrett Cole and the Brewers Corbin Burnes. At least they managed to salvage something. Then to top things off, more bad news for the Yankees as the new player called up just 8 games ago, Jasson Dominguez was diagnosed with a UCL injury!! This will keep him out of baseball until at least mid-season next year!!! I'm hoping that at 20 years pld, he will heal quickly. I tell ya, if the Yanks didn't have bad news, they wouldn't have any news at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
